O., JULY 17, 1903 Costless witnesses are not allowed to testify Id the Marlboro county court. There was a case in which there Were many witnesses from the cotton wills. They oatno in. their shirt aleevos. Judgo Gage told them that would not d<& Their coat* were a mile and a half away At their homes. Hut somehow the crowd furnished one coat and it was changed around so that the whole crowd used it. Thus truthfully remarko tho Kcr< jhftw Era : . . Wo do not hesitate to say that any ono who simply anchors himself in a . place to gather up what dollars he can with a view to moving elKCwhoro to er?joy them when his selfish end has been attained, is not deserving of tbe w*tronsgo of the public in which tuey locate for that purpose. The buHincss of a place uhould be bestowed upon these who nrc thore to stay arid to help build up tho community, and everything which helps build up the community should bo heartily supported. The negroes held a convention Jn LoulsvUre, Ky., recently to pro test sgainst tho wrongs against thfeir race. Several prominent negro >'HgitPtors were there, and' the ten dsncy seemed to bo the fosteri^ g^nfffct and resistaiH upremacy. Hooker ashington was present and made a strong conservative speech, pleading for self-restraint and pa Alcnee by his race. He olaimed ;that the lynching at Wilmington, Delaware, had removed tho troubljo : from, the South and it was now s national issue instead of a secblnnal . Jiiie. PiiPfe ItesyonslbiHty of Young Ladies. q , "The morality of tho young men of this country is j at us high uh f lh? young woman demand," said # minister recently in Chiongo.'nnd HI.' fcKU is true of evory community in ? ' tfie United States. The young wo i, men of any town, city or neighbor hood can fix the standard of moral 4ly- for the young men, and just in proportion to their indiflforeuce - ? 4 leniency on tho scoro of moral ity will the young inon indulge In qoestionablo practices nnd immoral ~r tendencies. Card playing and wino drinking among young men in nine : ?... esses out of ten comes from their association with young ladies who look jwlth favor upon these steps towards other and grayer offences against the moral law. ?

The man replied that he had been a Confederate soldier. ??Were you at such a place on such a night?" asked the llrst. . ??Ye?," ho ropliod, "and a curious thing h append that night which thVs hymn has recalled to my mind. 1 wua posted on sentry duty near the edge of a wood, It was a dark night and very oold, and 1 whs a little frightened becauso the enemy was supposed to lie very near. About midnight, when everything wan very* still, and I was feeling homesick and miserable and weary, 1 thought that I would comfort my self by praying and 'Hinging a hymn, 1 remember singing this hymn : "All my trunt on The? Is ?tayed, All my help from Theo f bring; Cover my defenseless head Wltti the shadow of Thy wing," ''After singing that a strange peace came down upon me, and through the long night I felt no fear." ^Now,'* said the other, "Helen to my story, f who a Union soldier and wan In the woods that night with a party of soouls. 1 saw you standing, although I did not see your face.

County Supervisors Must Renew The supervisor of Abbeville coun ty noglected to renew the Insurance policy on one of the buildings of the county, and that building wan destroyed by fire. The SiatQ,?f South Carolina in the insurance The commission does not feel in any way responsible for the loss as it is not the duly of tho commis sion to tenew policies, but tho duty of the county' supervisors to ^ee that they ate renewed. Tho act to "provide for State In surance of public buildings" was passed in 1000, and since that time public buijding* have been insured by tho sinking fund commission at a premium of one-half of the rate of the "old line" companies. Scction 2 and 11 of this act im pose upon tho contity supervisor the duty of insuring the court house, Jail, alms house and other public buildingR of tho county (ex cept school houses) with the sink ing fund commission and the duty of forwarding promptly to tho State treasurer annually the premiums for renewal of inrurauce on or be fore tho date of expiration of policy eaoh year. The policy Issued to tho oounty supervisor by the sink Ing fund commission both on its face and iu tho endorsement on the bnek thereof coutalns a notion lo the county supervisor that the policy expires on a certain day and cites lo tho supervisor those sec tions of tho law which requlra him t to pay the renewal premium to the Stale treasurer. Some county super visors are quite uegbgent in not sondlug promptly to tho State treasurer premiums for renewal of policies on or before tho d*to of cxpliatlon written upon tho politics which they hold. Any county supervisor failing to insuro with tho sinking fund oom mission the publio buildings of his county (school houses exoepted) or wtio fulls to Hnnutiiiy forward to the State treasurer promptly re newal premiums is guilty of a mis demeanor, and upon conviction ia liable to pay a fine of not less than #50 or to be imprisioued not leas than 20 nor more than 30 days ? this is in addition to their liability on their official bond if loss occurs. It therefore behooved eyery coun ty supervisor to examine his poll a and to forward to the State asurer the renewal premiums be fore the expiration of insurance. Sonuld any cannty supervisor have misplaced the policies tho State , treasurer will take pleaaure, npon request, in notifying him when poll tciee will exptf*.? Stmt? 14th inst. 1 that out Policies.
